Video GeoEditor – User Manual

Video GeoTagger current release build: 31.1

Video GeoEditor includes all features found in our Video GeoTagger PRO, plus the following map based geo-referenced video editing capabilities:

Patent-pending Easy Map-based Video Editing – No video editing experience, simply click on the GPS track for a geotagged video to make edit selections based on map locations.

Edit Video & Keep GPS Data Synchronized – All edited videos file keep the continuous GPS data intact and synchronized with the new video’s new time, allowing you to concentrate on editing the video intuitively without worrying about losing geospatial data.

Extract Subclips From Video – Mark a begin-time and end-time within the video, then use the Extract Subclip function to save that selected segment as a new video file.

Delete Video Sections & Merge – With Delete Selection & Merge, you can cut out unimportant selections from within a video to shorten it and reduce the file size, and keeping one video file.

Delete Video Sections & Split – Similar to above, Delete Selection & Split, lets users cut out unneeded selections from within a video, but instead creates 2 new video files without the content from the deleted section.

Trim From Start – The Trim From Start function deletes the section of video from the click point to the START of the video file.

Trim To End – The Trim To End function deletes the section of video from the click point to the END of the video file.

Split Video – The Split function cuts the video in to 2 new video files based on the click point.

Join Geospatial Video File Segments – Join two geo-referenced, chronological video segments together, such as multiple video files with synchronized GPS companion files recorded in segments over a linear corridor or right-of-way (ROW).

Overlay GPS Data on Video – Create video files with continuous GPS coordinates overlaid on top – useful for sharing video GPS information with others using traditional, non-geospatial video player software.

Overlay Logos or Images on Video – Create video files with a logo or image overlaid on top, useful for branding or “watermarking” your videos.

Transcode/Encode Video – Simple video transcoding feature to convert videos from one file format to another.

Multiplex Synchronized Videos – Combine 2, 3 or 4 videos recorded over the same time and place into a singe video file with side by side or quad presentation. Ideal for combining multi-sensor gimbal videos like infrared and HD.

Capture Individual Geotagged Still Images from Video – Take a screen capture of the current video frame, and it will automatically be geo-tagged with GPS data from the source video.

Automated Image Extraction from Video – Capture a user-defined frequency of multiple geotagged still images from a video file including setting extraction start and end times. This is ideal for optimizing still images for 3rd-party photogrammetry and processing software like Pix4D and Esri Drone2Map.

Automatically Geotag Video – Video GeoTagger lets you easily combine any GPS log and video to automatically synchronize the video file with a GPS track with just a few clicks on the map.

Manually Geotag Video – No GPS log file? No Problem! Just select as many points along the map as you want for points of interest you want to geotag in the video. Video Geotagger does the rest and will create geotagged video files! You can even geotag digitized historical video for documentaries and other location-based projects.

Click-on-Map Video Playback – Video GeoTagger is also an interactive way to load and playback already geotagged video files with supported, synchronized GPS log files on a map.

GPS Data Displays – Once video is properly geotagged, Video GeoTagger offers options for reviewing GPS and other data elements such as lat/lon, altitude, heading, speed and UTC time for any point during the video recording.

DJI Drone Flight Log Geotagging – If your DJI drone model does not create synchronized .SRT GPS data files, Video GeoTagger allows users to geotag DJI drone videos using the encrypted Flight Record Logs .TXT files.

Virtual Dashboard Gauges – An Optional panel appears below the map with virtual navigation instruments and gauges which displays information pulled from the GPS companion file, including:  heading, speed (in MPH and KPH), UTC date and time and altitude.

YouTube Upload (Privacy Settings) & Custom Tags – Privacy settings for videos loaded to YouTube can be set for Private, Unlisted or Public. With Video GeoTagger PRO you can also add custom tags to your YouTube videos.

LineVision Compatible Video – Video and GPS files created from Video GeoTagger FREE Edition are ready for import into Remote GeoSystems professional LineVision suite of software.

Encrypted Geospatial Video Files – Videos geotagged in the FREE edition are encrypted meaning they can only be opened for map-based playback in Video GeoTagger, Video GeoEditor, LineVision and other Remote GeoSystems solutions. For un-encrypted geospatial video file please upgrade to Professional edition.

Non-commercial Use – Video GeoTagger FREE edition is restricted to personal, volunteer and not-for-profit, non-commercial/non-government use. Professional commercial and government users will appreciate the extra features offered by upgrading to PRO edition.

Commercial & Government Use – Video GeoTagger PRO edition offers unrestricted use for commercial, government and other for-profit projects.

Un-encrypted Geospatial Video Files – Need to use your geotagged video files in non-Remote GeoSystems, 3rd party software? Video GeoTagger Professional edition allows you to save your newly-geotagged video in an unencrypted format(s).

Play GoPro Video with Embedded GPS – Video GeoTagger PRO edition offers support for direct loading and playback of GoPro video with embedded GPS like the Hero 5, 6, 7 and 8 models, without having to first geotag using a GPS track log.

DJI Drone Closed Captioning SRT Support – Video GeoTagger PRO edition allows for simple mapping and playback of DJI videos that have GPS data in the closed captioning of the video.

DJI Drone “Camera-Target-Footprint” Support – Post-flight, geotag DJI drone videos using the encrypted Flight Record Logs .TXT files to get at additional metadata parameters so that you can show where the camera is looking with a dynamic, 4-corner “footprint” and camera frame center of the video moving on the map. This creates a MISB FMV-like (full motion video) playback experience when proper MISB-spec metadata is not embedded in the video such as with most DJI drone models.

Play MISB FMV/STANAG-spec Videos Video GeoTagger PRO edition offers support for direct loading and instant playback of MISB Full Motion Video/STANAG-spec video files with embedded metadata.

Advanced GIS Map Layer Control – Video GeoTagger PRO edition comes with the same Layer Control panel found in LineVision Dekstop, offering capabilities to add map data layers to your video geotagging project. Even if you are not a traditional GIS or Esri user, you can utilize your own background maps with shapefiles, imagery and streaming endpoints and map server data produced by GIS specialists in your organization.

Esri ArcGIS Online Authentication – Advanced GIS map layer control also includes support for authenticating users against your ArcGIS Online Enterprise account for data access.

Selecting this option is recommended if your GPS companion files have a different name than the corresponding video file.

Warn On Missing Timecodes:

Check this menu item if you want Video GeoEditor to show a warning message if there are no timecodes detected in the video’s companion file.

NOTE: By default, this option is NOT checked.

If unchecked, Video GeoEditor automatically interpolates the timecodes. This may cause significant differences between the video position and the position on the map.

Check for Companion File Time Mismatch:

Check this menu item if you want Video GeoEditor to compare the length of the video to the length of the video track’s GPS points.

Always: When checked, the length of the video is always compared to the length of the video track. A warning message displays if the length is not within a tolerance.

Only When Edits Aren’t Possible: When checked, the length of the video is checked against the length of the video track only if the Video GeoEditor algorithm determines that the video track has not been edited.

Never: When checked, the video length is not checked against the video track length. Checking this option is not recommended unless video track editing has occurred and you are aware that the video’s length does not match the GPS track length.

Error loading video: Could not parse the GPX file

When you might this error when opening a video file

What this error means: the GPX or SRT file is blank, the GPX or SRT file was written or created incorrectly, or the video file has become corrupt.

How do I resolve this error?

• try downloading or copying  the video, GPX, or SRT file to your computer again
• If the error is in the video, however, this can only be resolved capturing the video again

GPS Extraction Error

You might see this error when opening a video file

What this error means: When Video GeoEditor tired to extract the GPS data from a video an error ocurred.

Map data not yet available

This error may occur when viewing track data, annotations, or the world map without data.

The error means that Video GeoEditor cannot show the world map

How do I resolve this error?

• Often you see this error because the map has been zoomed in too far and there is no detail at the level zoomed. Start zooming out with your mouse scroll or the zoom bar located in the lower left corner of the Map Viewer until you can see the background map again.
• Otherwise you may be experiencing a loss of Internet connectivity. Because Video GeoEditor streams the world map, you must have an Internet connection for the background map to display. Verify you have an active Internet connection.

Performance Warning

This message may occur when you open a video file.

This message means that as the message indicates, the number of GPS data points should be limited to 1000 to improve map performance. This often happens when a video exceeds more than 20 minutes or covers a large area.

How do I resolve this message?

• Click the OK button, and the video file will be added to your project, but with only 1000 GPS points showing on the map
• If you do get this message, and you want all the GPS data points shown on the map, you click on the Map menu and select Enable Performance Handling (uncheck) to turn off this feature.

Note: If you do disable Performance Handling and your computer is unable to manage the excess load of the additional GPS points you may experience lagging or unexpected behavior from the software. You will need to re-enable Enable performance Handling in the Map menu and remove and reload the video to limit it back to 1000 GPS data points.

• Try editing the video into shorter and smaller files. Doing this may free up resources and allow for normal performance.

Shapefile/Raster file not detected

You might see this message when attempting to add a shapefile or raster file

What the error message means: The file you are attempting to load is not a valid shapefile or raster file, it has become corrupted or was created incorrectly

How do I resolve this message? If you downloaded the file from a remote location, download it again, or verify that you have the correct file. If you created the file, verify you have, in fact, saved it as a shapefile or a raster file. Additionally in which shapefiles will not load if the file name is more than 5 characters long. To resolve this simply rename the shapefile and associated files to something that meets this requirement.

Zero Length GPS Data Detected

You might see this error when opening a video file.

What the error means: The GPS data doesn’t have time recorded with it, or the UTC start time and end time are the same, or the GPS points are the same.

How do I resolve this message?

• Click the OK button and video file may load. Be aware that if the software cannot detect any GPS data, however, that no track will appear on the map.
• If this occurs, try removing the file, downloading it again to your computer, and loading it again.
• If the error persists, the video file may need to be recaptured

Video GeoEditor provides the ability to automatically and manually geotag videos.

Automatic GeoTagging: Video GeoEditor can automatically geotag video that has a GPS data log file to reference.The reference GPS data does not have to be from the same time period, same length in recording time, or even the same location as the video that was collected.

NOTE: For automatic geotagging, ideally you would keep GPS log(s) that are longer in time than the video recording segments, which helps ensure there is plenty of GPS data to accurately geotag your video.

The following snowboarding video is an example in which the GPS is logging data points throughout the afternoon, and the snowboarder only turns the video camera on just for the downhill runs. In this example, he loads the hour and a half GPS log file but only geotags a video clip for one of the runs.

Most GPS devices and smartphone apps will create a GPS log in .gpx file formats, however Video GeoEditor also supports all of the following GPS log file formats:

• GPX
• CSV
• KML
• XML
• SRT (some DJI UAV models)
• DJI Drone Flight Logs (encrypted text file)

To automatically tag your video:

1. To launch the GeoTag menu, click Geotag from the menu bar to Launch Video GeoTagger (or simply click the GeoTagger tab located in the lower right window).

2. Click Browse to select the video you want to geotag.

3. Click Browse to select the GPS data file you wish to sync with the video.

4. Click Load File(s). The video is loaded to the Video Viewer, the GPS track is presented in the Map Viewer, and a dialog box appears with information on selecting the geotag point.

5. Find a known visual place of reference in the video and then find that same corresponding place on the GPS track on the map.

NOTE: Users commonly associate the first frame in the video with a point on the GPS track on the map (as in these screenshot examples). However, you can associate any frame in the video with its corresponding place on the GPS track. Video GeoEditor will calculate the appropriate distance in the GPS log before and after the video frame (as in the snowboarding video in the beginning of this section.)

6. Play the video until you see the desired video frame and then click pause. Right-click a point corresponding to the location of the current frame of video in view and then select Geotag Video Here.

7. Now there will be a portion of the GPS track highlighted in orange, and the GPS section that will be synchronized with the video. Click Geotag Video to confirm the GPS section of interest.

8.  After clicking Geotag Video, the  GPS track (now in red) is shown and a “Video Successfully Geotagged” message box appears letting you know the newly selected GPS data has been associated with the video allowing for geospatial playback.

9. The video is now geotagged and can be played back “geospatially”. Clicking on any GPS point or GPS track to view how the “video location indicator” is following the camera’s approximate path of travel.

HOW-TO VIDEO: Automatically Geotagging video

See for yourself how easy it is to automatically geotag a video below. (For Adobe PDF users, click here)

Video GeoEditor allows you to geotag videos lacking corresponding GPS log files by manually selecting location data points. Manual geotagging allows you to utilize a video frame’s location content to create a GPS data log. You can click any number of points at any chosen interval of time.

To manually geotag a video:

1. Click Geotag from the menu bar to Launch Video GeoTagger or simply click the GeoTagger tab.

2. Select the video you want to geotag by clicking Browse. Once the video is loaded, click Load for Geotagging.

3. When no GPS content is detected, a message box appears notifying the user they are entering manual geotagging mode.

OPTIONAL: If desired, add additional map data layers using Layer Control tab. Adding more data layers provides  additional details that can be helpful for referencing video frame(s) location(s) to places on the maps. In the following example, we have added aerial/satellite imagery so that we can better identify the individual windmills on the map.

4. In this example, the Video Viewer is displaying a map with the aerial/satellite layer selected. Zoom into the area previously established as a GPS starting point (corresponding with the location in the video). Right-click on the chosen starting point and select Manually Add Start Point.

5. Establish a manual GPS track using one of two options.

1. Add points throughout your video until you reach the end, or
2. Select your end point and add points in between the start and end points.

The following is an example of using option 1 and adding points throughout the video until we get to the end of our video.

NOTE: If you need to move to the end of your video to identify the last frame end location, simply move the video scrubber to the end of the video.

6.  Play the video until you see the desired video frame and then click pause. Right-click a point corresponding to the location of the current frame of video in view and then select Manually Add Point Here at 00:00:00.

NOTE: Please be aware that where 00:00:00 shows, the time changes as you move through the video.

7. Repeat step 5 to add additional GPS points corresponding with the location of the current frame of video in view.

8. After selecting and adding all desired GPS points, select Manually Add End Point to set the video end point.

9. Select Geotag Video to view the GPS points on the map (displayed in red). A message will appear indicating the GPS data was saved and showing the path where your video and new .gpx companion file are located.

IMPORTANT! Make sure to keep this file, otherwise you will have to re-tag your video.

There are three ways to geotag video recorded from DJI drones. The methods available vary with the different drone models, and also between FREE and PRO edition.

1. SRT Files (FREE and PRO)

Based on internal research and customer feedback the following DJI models should support recording video with the .SRT file:

• Mavic Pro
• Inspire 1 & 2
• Phantom 3 Pro
• Phantom 4 Standard (but not Phantom 4 Pro)

As long as the .SRT file is in the same directory as the video, it should prompt you to load it automatically.

2. Flight Record (FREE and PRO)

DJI Flight Record data can be pulled from the phone/tablet

3. Closed Caption (PRO only)

For certain DJI models that embeds GPS data into the video file itself as closed captioning tracks, such as the Phantom Pro 4.

You can change the transparency of a layer so that other layer features can show through. The transparency function won’t show until you’ve selected a layer to change the transparency on.

Using the transparency function:

1. Select the layer you want to change the transparency on
2. Change the Layer Transparency using the bar slider until you’ve reached an opacity you like.
